I hope people understand that higher levels means we're giving-up something else because: LIMITED RESOURCES.
There's no way to prove or disprove 'limited resources'. They could either stand pat with the amount of developers/etc they have now, or they could decide to hire more if needed, as far as that goes.
You're also forgetting the other variable in play, for which none of us know any set-in-stone value involved, and that is simply time from now till 1.0 release. Everyone has conjecture that it'll be around a year from now, but it could be longer - or shorter than that. Bottom line...the presumption you're making there is by no means a given fact at this point.
